This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

A new study of the movement of faraway galaxies has opened a window on a time billions of years ago when the universe's rate of expansion began speeding up.

Detailed observations of the changing distance between galaxies revealed that the mysterious acceleration of space, which began five to six billion years ago, perfectly matched predictions made by Einstein in 1916.

The new measurements, presented at the National Astronomy Meeting in Manchester, show that the universe is expanding at an ever-increasing rate and that the structures within it, such as galaxy clusters, are also growing.

The findings match Einstein's general theory of relativity in which he proposed the rate at which galaxies should be drawn towards one another and at which the universe ought to expand.

About Me

Welcome to my blog, dedicated to the aporia, anomie, mysteries, and nervous tensions of the turn of the Millennium. I'm a writer and academic, trained in the field of history. These are my histories of things that define the spirit of our times. This blog also goes beyond historians' visions of the past, and examines how metatime and time are perceived in other media and disciplines, between generations, and in high and pop culture.
